• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Oxygen is in 19-21% of water? (!?)

Besides, as I (and a few other people) pointed out, that water and oxygen exist can hardly be considered evidence of God.
The building blocks of life (atoms,quarts and their energy) points to a cause and a effect. Which points to much more to life than any of us can prove. Where is the evidence that there is NO God? Quite the contrary all the none evidence points to God.

Yeah? Which is two different accounts of how it happened.

And I've already explained to you how two accounts can be different but not contradictory.

If one had said definitively that it happen in one order, while the other said that it happened in another order, then it would have been a contradiction.

But instead what you have is one account stating the details of what happened, and another stating the details of when it happened.

If the bible is the word of god, and he is going to mention twice in the bible how he created the Universe then the least you would expect is for them to be the same.

They are essentially the same.

Because its not the same situation, it would be the same if say one person said your last words were "The Phillies are going to be pretty strong next year in spite of Charlie Manuel", "'Tin Man' was a good miniseries", and "We don't let the children watch 'Torchwood'" and another person said your last words "was i like cheese" then it might be the same situation.

But it is the same situation. I had a long conversation and said several different things. That I said one thing at one point in the conversation and said another thing at another point does not make it a contradiction.

In the same way, that Jesus said one thing at one point in His dying statement and another thing at another point does not make it a contradiction.

Now your putting your own assumptions into the text.

No, I'm not. I'm telling you what the Bible says and why it says so. I did not assume anything. My answer is based on scholarship of the texts, both mine and Bible scholars going back many years.

And once again you think the bible(the word of god) would be a little more accurate on the events of the death of the son of god.

You've yet to show that it is inaccurate in any way.

But its not, i have have just given you examples where it is not consistent

No, you gave me examples of an assumption you made because you did not study the text out

and a link to a website where there are loads more.

Why should I care whether or not there are "loads more" if all of the ones you've given me so far are wrong?

That there are "loads more" does nothing to make the ones you've given me any less wrong.

But denial is a funny thing you can almost convince yourself of anything. (trust me, i have been there)

You're there now.

If you really believe that your able to intelligently discuss doctrine, even though you, yourself, have admitted that you haven't read the Bible in several years and are working from "vague memories", you're in denial.

why cant people state their feelings and 'beliefs' without judgement calls? THIS QUOTE:" If you really believe that your able to intelligently discuss doctrine, even though you, yourself, have admitted that you haven't read the Bible in several years and are working from "vague memories", you're in denial. "

was so unneeded to get your view point across. calling someone ignorant or stupid-which is what this quote does-totally demands others to see that you are not very secure in your view as you have to put someone else's view down to try and get yours to stand on its own. Good job???

It does? Howso?

Which points to much more to life than any of us can prove.

Really? And?

Where is the evidence that there is NO God?

Oh please, you know that not how it works. Where's your evidence of no no-God?

Quite the contrary all the none evidence points to God.

All of the none evidence points to God? So the fact that there is no evidence is evidence of God?

So your finite mind is all we base reality in.They said Einstein was crazy. Look! and he and many other scientists see the evidence of a creationist.

No, I'm just not jumping straight into "existence, therefore, God."

I see too much evidence of creationists...
